Do you have a business idea, but don’t know where to start? Are you new to the entrepreneurial journey and feel that you need more confidence and practical skills to build your brand?
Successful entrepreneurs in their own right, Charly Lester and Caroline Brealey will demystify the process of launching a start-up, taking you through the crucial steps of setting up a new company and establishing your brand.
They will share their tried-and-tested advice on creating a company name, registering your business, basic accountancy and designing your brand. The course will also cover key skills for the digital age, including blogging, social media and doing your own PR.
This class is open to anyone with a business idea or a fledgling start-up, but Charly and Caroline are particularly keen on encouraging female entrepreneurs as, in their experience, women are often daunted by the challenge of setting up their own company.
